Why has he said that publically??

[liverbird]

I can't believe no one is discussing today's CL tie.
Who will start etc. I expect Henrik and Chris up front. Agathe says he's ready so Momo sits. Can't wait. Today's a perfect day --- my pub will show this match and Liverpool on side by side TV's so I can see both! I'll break out my Celtic-Liverpool scarf I got outside Anfield. YNWA!

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has revealed he came within a whisker of bringing World Cup winner Kleberson to Parkhead before the UEFA transfer window closed.

Tomorrow's match will be shown on tape-delay for those watching on FSW but hopefully I can make it down to the pub again.

I think we all considered it at one point!

[Parkhead_Faithful]

Im not sure if I believe this kleberson stuff, why tell us now that it isnt going to happen?
Maybe its the paranoid celtic supporter in me but when you look at our summer signings and look at him its just miles apart, this may be coming out just to make us think we had some ambition and to ease the pressure on the management after that really piss poor performance in the tie against basle.

Sporting Life (http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/02/09/02/SOCCER_Celtic_Nightlead.html)MALONEY SIGNS ON FOR NEW DEAL

Celtic striker Shaun Maloney confirmed on Monday that he had finally put pen to paper on a three-year contract extension.

I don't know about the rest of you lot, but I was just gutted by the result in Basel. MON's strategy left a lot to be desired. As any person who has watched American football can tell you, there is a hackneyed phrase that goes, "Prevent defense only prevents you from winning," which is no less true for its overuse.

A tragic result that will have long-term implications for the financial and thus competitive health of the club. It will take a long and wild UEFA Cup run to even begin to make up for the lost revenue of the CL, even if Celtic's performance there had only equalled their last season's.

Here is hoping that this served as a harsh wake up call for the board and for MON, who seem to have allowed themselves to consider Celtic a much better side than they really are.

[Parkhead_Faithful]

They didnt consider us better than we are mate, they didnt want to spend money unless it was guaranteed we would recoup it, thus basle spent and strengthened and we waited until qualification was assured, basle won through.
Mon still hasnt signed a new deal and it looks probable he wont be in glasgow next season and there are rumours flying around that Larsson is being touted around europe for the reopening of the transfer window, with him only having 18 months left on his contract it is also likely they are true.
Colin healy is also looking for a move as soon as the window opens again.
We could be going from a position of relative strength to being back in the dark old days through the same old celtic problem, a small minded board of directors.
Paolo Di Canio Said it best in his book:
" I felt poisoned by what had happened and disappointed that these people who cared nothing for football were running Celtic Football Club."

Insert random gibe RE: stereotypical Scottish cheapness, close-fistedness, blockheadedness here.

Ananova (http://www.ananova.com/sport/soccer/story/sm_664970.html?menu=sport.football)Date set for Old Firm derby

The first Old Firm game of the season has been granted a provisional kick-off time of 2.15pm on Sunday, October 6.

Celtic and Rangers have always clashed at noon on previous Sundays since the infamous game at Parkhead in 1999 when Rangers clinched the Scottish Premier League title.

Referee Hugh Dallas was struck by a coin during the game which the Ibrox side won 3-0.

Celtic great Paul McStay has urged Martin O'Neill to put supporters out of their misery and sign a new deal at Parkhead.

McStay said, "The best lift the Celtic supporters could get at this time would be a positive announcement on Martin's future. There is absolutely no doubt about that.
